"I" (11 times) followed closely by "F" and "H" (both 9 times) seem to the most common letters.

"I" (11 times) followed closely by "F" and "H" (both 9 times) seem to the most common letters.
- olalonde 16y agoI doubt this information will be helpful since for every character there are ~9 characters after encryption.
- erik_landerholm 16y agoyou are on the right track.
- olalonde 16y agoOther observation: the encoded string's characters seem to range from ASCII 32 to 90.
- kmort 16y agoThat range is 58 characters which (perhaps suspiciously) is size of alphabet + 2^5. (Although a whitespace character is also encoded, making that suspicion a little less "round".) From comparing the multiple encodings of Quick Brown Fox, the value distribution across that range is fairly even and every value is used at least once.
- user24 16y agoI have the top five as: ; (12 times) I (11 times) * (10 times) - (10 times) 2 (10 times) and for the quick-brown-fox sample he posted in the comments, I have: ! (14 times) # (13 times) C (11 times) , (11 times) U (10 times) So I'm not convinced this is a fruitful path of inquiry.
